the fact is the two most important people are the president and speaker boehner. both of them in the beginning of this have shown a degree of flexibility. what we need to do, people like myself offer concrete solutions to solve this problem. when they get in their meeting they need to have these at their disposal and we as a country again need to go ahead and deal with this issue now. i know that senator durbin actually has shown some strength for what it's worth, i don't know what he will do today in his press conference but he has been more, he has been more than willing to look at medicare reform. bill: one more question. why do you want to go after revenue at all? you're $16.2 trillion in the hole? i mean your entire life any money washington gotten it has spent? >> yeah, i think all throughout this campaign republicans talked about pro-growth tax reform. what i have laid out is just that, and what it does it keeps rates from going up. so bill, all those companies and our country file tax forms under sub-s&l lcs, they will no per my legislation tax rates will

moments ago house speaker john boehner was asked about the vote on contempt for eric holder. have a listen to how he answered that. >> we'd really rather not be there. we'd really rather have the attorney general and the president work with us to get to the bottom of a very serious issue. the united states government ran a gun-running operation that has resulted in hundreds of deaths. brian terry's family has a right to know what happened. the american people have a right the know what happened. and we're going to proceed. we've given them ample opportunity to comply even as late as yesterday. the white house sat down with some of our staff to outline what they'd be willing to do. unfortunately, they're not willing to show the american people the truth about what happened. bill: apparently, the question for speaker boehner was why hold the vote on the same day that health care comes down from the u.s. supreme court. he said that's just the way the schedule is. here here to walk it through it now is judge andrew napolitano. good morning to you. i want to cover holder and healt
